Sarandib Planitia (Enceladus)

Ceylon (Sri Lanka); the island visited by Sindbad on his 6th voyage.

Sarandib Planitia is a region of un-cratered terrain on Saturn's moon Enceladus. In more recent Cassini images, Sarandib is resolved into a region of low ridges, with a band of rifted terrain cutting through the middle from northwest to southeast. In addition, a series of long-wavelength compression ridges are seen in the western portion , reminiscent of banded terrain on Europa, like Astypalaea Linea. (wikipedia entry)

A planitia is a low plain. On Enceladus they are named after people and places from Burton's Arabian Nights.
